Richard,

>     Might help for clarity..... 

    EXACTLY! You made the point so much clearer than I did in a previous
    post to this thread. Now, what do we call the device that is used to
    steam in order to smooth the surface of the wax. That is really the
    one that I want to build or buy. Maybe I could put an insulated hose
    on the vent of the pressure cooker to direct the steam (only half
    serious but may be a starting point)? 

    And, regarding the pressure cooker: How long does the investment have
    to set before putting it into the steamer? 

    Currently I ramp up for 2 hours at about 350f to Burn Out the wax.
    Does this mean that I can eliminate the ramp up and go directly to
    1400f? 

Regards
RLW (Ronald L. Wade)
